Attachment 2 - Redacted Justification for Other Than Full and Open Competition - 70Z03823QJ0000404.pdf

This document is a justification for other than full and open competition related to solicitation number 70Z03823QJ0000404 from the Department of Homeland Security US Coast Guard for access cover assemblies. The Coast Guard requires continued procurement of access cover assemblies from the original equipment manufacturer due to the need for form, fit and function compatibility with existing hatches on various cutter classes. Awarding to any source other than the original equipment manufacturer would require reengineering of the access cover assemblies, which would delay cutter maintenance and reduce operational availability. The justification therefore cites only one responsible source under FAR 6.302-1 and authority 10 U.S.C. 2304(c)(1) with an anticipated award date of September 30, 2023.
